Papaya King

Hot dog restaurant · Upper East Side

"The new location of this 1932 hot dog spot has more of a corporate real-estate aesthetic than their original corner shop, which had the brightest orange neon sign money could buy and photos of regulars on the walls. We'll let it go, because the hotdogs are exactly the same: plump, juicy, snappy, and thirsting for mustard, sauerkraut, and a creamy papaya drink. Come by for a quick snack and see if you can avoid accidentally eating two hot dogs, a knish, some fries, and a calorically-dense beverage." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
